Ghada Amer: You Are What You Seek

Ghada Amer: You Are What You Seek at Goodman Gallery
For over three decades, Ghada Amer has approached painting as a medium to be questioned, broadened and continually reimagined. Throughout her career her work has unfolded as a sustained effort to reconsider the way women appear in art and the way painting might foreground their presence. If the medium has historically been tied to mastery and a closed set of conventions, Amer treats it as a space that can be unraveled. Rather than reject painting, she stretches its borders through thread, sculpture and language, allowing it to evolve into a more porous and responsive form. This exhibition marks her first show at Goodman Gallery Cape Town since ‘Love is a Difficult Blue’ in collaboration with Reza Farkhondeh in 2018, brings together recent works in painting, embroidery, bronze and steel. Seen together, they trace a practice continually seeking new forms through which to recognise and honour the complexity of women’s lives.
